For eons, earth has had only two main and accepted genders, male and female, however, ago due to a pandemic that not only killed off a majority of the population but caused a further divide of the genders to alpha and omega, classifying humans into female alphas and omegas and male alphas and omegas.
These new genders, when discovered seemed more primal and instinctual as it was driven by the deep animistic want to mate, dominate, posses and impregnate for alphas and be possessed, be mated, submit, and get impregnated for omegas.
Both genders could produce pheromones that would induce the other's estrus period apart from the monthly estrus both alphas and omegas went through. The estrus period was days of peak fertility where instincts would take over for days and even weeks forcing them to intercourse as their body surrenders to the primal urge of copulation and conceiving. These periods were known as heat for omegas and ruts for alphas.
For years, the researchers were stumped as to why this was happening to humans. The most supported theory is factors such as the declining birthrate brought out by more and more people choosing not to get children due to factors such as high costs of living, and or personal choice in addition to the global pandemic that only left a billion human beings on earth, the Human species felt threatened and evolved the new genders to increase its chances for survival.
While some of the populace were looking for reasons as to “why” and “how to stop it” a majority of humanity gave in to their instincts and decided not to fight them bringing in the era of “Omega Oppression” abbreviated as OO, by the majority. It was a dark time for those who presented as omegas.
Seen as the lesser gender by alphas, the omegas were sexually assaulted, coerced into sexual acts, and forcefully marked by alphas, getting banned from certain occupations and jobs and not allowed any financial freedom at all; the voice for omegas did not exist for the longest time.
Nevertheless, the world has a way of balancing itself. With omegas dying off due to alpha violence and suicide, hope in the form of a virus came. The virus only attacked alphas and those with alpha traits, it was airborne so the transmission and infection happened in the blink of an eye.
Mimicking the symptoms of a rut, most alphas did not know they had it till their canines fell off making them unable to mark omegas. An alpha’s canines were their pride, without them they were neither not alphas nor omegas just cripples, additionally when an alpha loses their canines through natural causes their bond with their omega is broken however forcefully removing an alpha canine does not break their bond. However, there are medical procedures that have come up that can remove an alpha’s mark and dissolve a pair none of which were allowed during the"OO", therefore the virus freed many omegas from forced matings. It was a blessing.
The disease did not stop there, within a day of the canines falling off the alpha’s body started shutting off, starting with their digestive system making them unable to eat and take any nourishment.
With no food to keep their body running, the alphas were wasting away with no help, waiting for death as “their” omegas left them as soon as their bond was broken. After the digestive system, other inner organ systems follow then finally the heart stops beating, too fatigued to continue. For alphas whose physical prowess were their pride and joy, dying in a pile of their shit was the worst way to go.
In addition to that, their work policies on banning omegas into professions such as medicine came and bit them back as all the alpha doctors and medicine practitioners died off without ever completing research on the virus cure or vaccine.
Omegas, on the other hand, took advantage of the disease and turned the tide of oppression against the alphas. The Gender War started and the omegas thrived going as far as weaponizing the disease and using it against the alphas, it was a massacre but no one dared shed a tear as the alphas’ sins against them were still too fresh.
With the alphas defeated, the omegas built an omega-only city and fortified it. The alphas were cast out and killed when found in the city forcing them into the outlands where disease and lack of resources, thanks to the war, awaited them.
The omegas thrived and their lives were propelled forward, with now unlimited restrictions to education and all resources, their lives improved for the better with no alphas in their lives. After so much hardship, dawn had arrived for Omegas.
However, as if the universe was playing a giant cosmic joke on them, they found out that an omega-omega relationship did not result in conception, thus for the longest time, no children were born and heat took a turn for the worse with many omegas trying to leave the city and find alphas during their heat and alphas' aggression spiking whenever the omegas went in heat. The "Suppresant" medication became harmful to them the omegas the more they took stronger doses, and in the end their bodies needed their counterparts.
The leaders of the omegan society decided that they needed to be smart and brutal about reintroducing alphas into their society since history has shown just how ruthless they can be.
They had discovered a vaccine to the Hope Virus, the alpha killing virus was, which was what the alpha killing virus was named, years ago when they decided to weaponize it and decided to use it as their bargaining chip against the dwindling alpha population outside their city.
Contact was made with the alpha leaders, or what was the alpha leaders, on neutral territory away from the Omegan city and the Alpha domain. The omega leaders listed their demand; first for the alphas to get the vaccine they must agree to get a chip on the back of their heads. This chip would send shock waves to the brain that would cause haemorrhage and death once an alpha releases pheromones outside the scheduled time, that is when the omega was in heat.
They did give the alphas another choice, which was to become "Breeding mares". If the chips were a no-go, the alphas would have to always be on medication that would put them in an eternal rut for the use of omegas to satisfy their needs.
It was a death sentence for the alphas but the choice was between, being reduced to an animal, death, and death. The alpha leaders had no other option but to agree to the condition as their population was slowly becoming extinct and at least with the chip inside their heads life could be an option..
The first batch of alpha were introduced to the omega city as a test, they were a thousand. They were put in a controlled environment where their pheromones could not leak out to the unsuspecting omegas. After tests to make sure that they were healthy and not infected, they were introduced to the rest of the city’s populace as a trial. Most of the omegas still had hatred for the alphas and did not welcome the alphas but this was the only choice they had for now and they knew it.
The alphas’ profiles were uploaded to a matching website where the omegas who were interested in them would choose the alpha of their liking and arrange a meeting with them if they did not like the chosen alpha, they could cancel the matching and choose another alpha. Whether it was mating or just sexual frustration they wanted to satisfy, the omegas had all the control over their interaction with the alpha. The alphas had no say.
After a while, the first batch of alphas were all matched and mated, this allowed the second and larger batch to get introduced. Then the third and so forth till almost all the alphas were integrated into the city except the ones who chose not to, choosing to die to the Hope virus rather than live in an omegan society.
As the years went by, a problem with the chip arose. It seemed to be unable to distinguish between normal pheromone levels of alphas and was killing any of them whose level was even beyond the normal. As humans were different, so were their pheromone levels so what the chip had programmed as normal was quickly discovered as biased as some alphas had normal phenomenon levels than others.
The alpha pleas to get the chip removed fell on deaf ears for years until one of the alpha leaders came up with a revolutionary idea.
A muzzle.
Designed for alphas and alphas only, it filtered out omega pheromones reducing the risk of an alpha going into a rut once exposed to omega pheromones, as most omegas did not take pheromone blockers the continuous exposure to omega pheromones was one of the reasons why the alphas kept producing pheromones; in response to the omegas’.
Not only should the muzzle inhibit pheromones but also act as an observation tool to monitor the alphas without the looming threat of death, and if an alpha’s pheromone or actions are seen to endanger an omega they are to be registered as offenders on their criminal record and would be arrested for Omega Endangerment.
If an alpha was to remove their muzzle in public areas or not designated areas such as alpha-only spaces or their houses. It will be seen as a terrorist act and they will be cast out of the city after proper legal procedures.
An alpha would be muzzled as soon as they present which is by the age of ten when they lose their baby canines to give room to their adult canines.
The only time alphas can remove their muzzles in public is when they have a meal and a timer will automatically start giving them thirty minutes to eat and finish their meal.
Once in their registered households, an alpha can remove their muzzles only if there is no close blood-related omega in their vicinity. Being even one meter away from one’s mask will cause a red alert that will lead to them being brought in for questioning by local authorities.
Only mated alphas have the right to stay unmuzzled as pheromones from any omega other than their mate will not affect them.
An unmuzzled and unmated alpha will be jailed and then banished from the city that is the law.
The Muzzle law was seen as degrading and inhumane by many alphas but, they knew with their history they should be happy that muzzling was the only type of humiliation the omegas were allowed to do to them.
Thus after a short debate by the leaders, the muzzles were introduced replacing the chips, and presented unmated alphas from the age of ten to death were muzzled.
The muzzles become the alpha’s distinguishing features making the omegas more aware of them in public. It acted as a safety feature of some sort for omegas as they stayed away from the muzzled individuals.
Alphas on the other hand were united by the muzzle and accepted the article as part of their normal life. It was manna from heaven after the “death chip” as they referred to it.
The new article gradually became old news as it became the norm to see muzzled alphas. Under the new government watch and supervision, the alphas were allowed to design and style their muzzles as they desired as long as the muzzle’s functions were not altered. And the once-loathed article became a source of pride for alphas as it made them stand out from the omegas.
The alpha and omega leaders were happy with the muzzle as finally a sane and nonlethal way of co-existing was found.
Thanks to the muzzle, alphas, and omegas have found a much better way of living together, and once again …
